Unplug the connector at the switch. Put a jumper across the terminals, a
paperclip works fine. The lights should come on. If not, you'll have to trace the
circuit back until you find the faulty component or wire.

Fuses???? Use a test light.... glass fuses can fool you.

Believe it or not, electrical diagnosis can be easy if we only gain some
knowledge and a few inexpensive tools (heavy on the knowledge part).
Electricity works on some VERY BASIC principles. I don't understand why
these VERY BASIC principles are so hard to grasp.....

If I can learn them........
